Solo game dev.

Looking to release my first demo by EOY 2025!

How much gaming time do my 9 to 5 friends manage to find in a week?

Life doesn't seem to make space right now 😭

Deleting half my game's code has me ricocheting between catharsis and panic. 🫠🫠🫠

Brought my new space station into the game!

I've been in a slow period again since finishing the station. Trying to ramp up tbe dev frequency...

Thoughts on my finished space station?

I will do a space background as a separate asset at some point but I'm calling the station itself finished.

Home stretch. 20hrs in maybe?
This has been a massive distraction from doing any actual dev work oops.

Posting this image again because I NEED TO NAME HIM!!!
He is a slow fat happy dragon, inspired somewhat by mixing Clodsire from Pomkemon with Toothless from HTTYD.

Please give him a name!

I'm changing my name!

There's nothing wrong with FuzzNugget, and Fuzz herself is alive and grumpy as usual.
However I prefer this new name and as a bonus it feels more marketable.

I'm now Dopey Dragon Games!

P.S. help me name this lil guy!

Finding time for dev work is so hard! Only scraped in a few hours the whole of last month.

Reminding myself that progress is progress no matter how small.

Animated the ship coming in and out of the scene.
This has been a useful task to learn DOTween and async workflows.

I've been dealing with a lot of feeling not good enough and not productive enough.
But I had some helpful conversations and started to accept that any amount of work is good and the only goalposts are the ones I place.

Slow but steady.

Woah! It's been a while but here is the most complicate sprite in the game to date!
Feeling pretty chuffed.

Does it look ok?

Got some cards disobeying me 🙃

Even though i have multiple checks in place to prevent them interuoting their movement, they still manage to shift.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

Just made my third devlog. If you want a better look at what I'm doing Itch will be where I write it all out.

#3 Initial look at the game so far
So. It has been 43 days since the last dev log (thanks itch analytics), and about 3 months of working on the game. It's about time I actually post what it looks like. This is what my 'game' view of un...

Can't help but wonder if there is a better way to update UI text over just having a steadily growing number of text object references in my script component...

First sprite sheet for the project. I can't seem to add video and image to the same post so see next post for the result.

Is it overkill or cute for my animals to have helmets when they are perfectly safe aboard the space station? Should they take them off?

I've been getting bogged down in whether my sprites are clear. But a Redditor told me to just move on and pump out more. I can worry about clarity when they are in the game with context.

It has come to my attention via reddit that Potato on a stick is not as universal as I thought.

I live in Western Australia and these are a common food truck item that attracts massive queues at festivals and conventions.

Do y'all not have these?

Starting to map out some item recipes.

Crops can now get chopped by the slicer.
Keen to start adding recipes for different thing now that this code is in.
